Answer:
Option H
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of rectangle= 2(length) +2(width)
100= 2(5a -22) +2[½(a +1)]
Expand:
100= 2(5a) +2(-22) +a +1
100= 10a -44 +a +1
Simplify:
100= 11a -43
+43 on both sides:
11a= 100 +43
11a= 143
Divide both sides by 11:
a= 143 ÷11
a= 13
Thus, option H is correct.

x - Ram's age now
Ram is half his father's age now, so his father's age is two times Ram's age:
2x - Ram's father age now
x - 10 - Ram's age ten years ago
2x - 10 - Ram's father age ten years ago
ten years ago he was one third his father's age so his father's age was three times Ram's age:
2x - 10 = 3•(x - 10)
2x - 10 = 3x - 30
-10 + 30 = 3x - 2x
20 = x
2x = 2•20 = 40
Answer:
<u>Ram is 20 years old now, Ram's father is 40 years old now.</u>
